The Future Of Gnome DE Looks Promising
,----[ Quote ]
| One thing we have learned from KDE4 is that its not a good idea to make
| drastic change to a desktop environment that the users have been used to for
| a long time. Hopefully the Gnome developers will keep that in mind as they
| work on Gnome 3.0 release for next year. Gnome is known for making subtle
| incremental changes instead of doing major overhaul, but the changes they
| have planned for Gnome 3 is much bigger than we have come to expect from
| Gnome.

| The first development release of GNOME 2.28 was supposed to be out at the end
| of April per its release schedule, but it's now slowly coming together. There
| are many bug-fixes and translation updates in the packages checked in so far
| for this first GNOME 2.28 development release (a.k.a. GNOME 2.27.1), but
| there are a few items worth pointing out.

Next GNOME Foundation Elections
,----[ Quote ]
| As people probably remember, the current GNOME Foundation Board was elected
| to serve until June 30th, 2009. We changed the end date from December 31th to
| June 30th so that the new board could have a face-to-face meeting at the very
| beginning of its term, during GUADEC. This face-to-face meeting is most
| useful to energize the board and make things go faster, so it really makes
| sense to have it occur at the beginning of a board term.

GNOME 2.26: Fast & Stable, But Light On The New Features
,----[ Quote ]
| As I’ve used GNOME 2.26, I tried hard to find new things to make the overall
| release notable, but unfortunately I couldn’t really find anything exciting.
| Don’t get me wrong, GNOME is not a horrible desktop by any means; it’s fast,
| stable and gets the job done. However, this new release likely will not do
| much to convince users of other desktop environments to make the switch.

Changes to the GNOME System Administration Team
,----[ Quote ]
| We'd like to announce a formal system administration team. GNOME has long had
| an informal sysadmin team that has managed the gnome.org services. Putting
| this team on a more formal basis similar to the GNOME Release Team will allow
| us to involve and recognize contributors more effectively, and better
| coordinate with other parts of the GNOME project.
